7 White Papers to Dramatically Improve Your Data Center Cabling Cabling in the data center is a key component of your infrastructure. However, it can sometimes be overlooked or taken for granted. That can be a costly mistake causing a variety of problems. On the other hand, when you implement a smart, high-quality data center cabling design, you’ll see a variety of benefits. From our experience, people say they want the following from their data center cabling: • • • • • • •
Reliability High Performance Manageability Simplicity for moves, adds, and changes Space savings Future-proof solutions Cable standards compliance
Gain Valuable Insights from These 7 Data Center Cabling White Papers To help people achieve these benefits, our data center cabling architects and experienced industry experts have created a series of valuable white papers full of insights. 1. Data Center Structured Cabling Guide When you compare point-to-point cabling to a structured cabling design, it’s really no contest. There are simply far more advantages of a structured cabling system. This structured cabling guide covers what a true structured cabling design is and how you can make it work for your infrastructure. 2. Cabling Designs for Hyper convergence The hyper converged network is here. That means you have to think about the impact these hyperconverged networks are having on cabling. How are data center topologies evolving? How is spine-and-leaf cabling replacing a traditional 3-layer design? Learn all this and more in this white paper. 3. Simplify Fiber Optic Cabling Migrations with a Multi-Path™ System Let’s face it. Speeds keep increasing. That’s just how it is. And that’s a good thing. But increasing speeds present new challenges. For instance, one of those challenges is polarity (or light path). 4. Meeting 40/100G Ethernet and 32GFC, 128GFCp Light Budgets with a Structured Cabling Design When designing a structured cabling plant to run speeds of 40/100G for Ethernet and 32GFC and 128GFCp for Fibre Channel, one must review the latest published standards that apply. This paper shows you how. 5. Taking Your Network to 40/100G Ethernet With the ratification of new industry standards and increased demands on data center throughput, 40/100G Ethernet will be an integral component of the next generation data center. Don’t let your network get left behind. 6. Passive Optical Port Replication™ in the Data Center
